16. Patrick turned out for the track team and lost 5.62 kilograms during the season. After the season finished, he gained back 1.4 kilograms.
a. One of the decimals should be written as negative number. Which one is it and why?
b. Find the sum of the two numbers to determine the total change in Patrick's weight

A: the 5.62 kilograms should be negative, since he is losing weight.

B: -5.62 + 1.4 is -4.22, which is how many kilograms Patrick lost in total.

Hope this helps :)

a 4/6 = 9/12   not proportional

step-by-step explanation:

to find which are not proportional, we can use cross products

if it is true, they are proportional.   if it is not true, they are not proportional.

a 4/6 = 9/12

4* 12 = 6*9

48 = 54

not this is not proportional  

b 2/3 = 12/18  

2* 18 = 3 * 12

36 = 36

this is proportional

c 5/4 = 10/8  

5*8 = 4*10

40 = 40

this is proportional

d 7/5 = 35/25

7*25 = 5 * 35

175 = 175

is proportional
